Hello,

I am experiencing increasing neuropathy (tingling/numbness) in arms, lower legs & FACE and increase in blood pressure (154/110), despite meds. I am wondering if I can share any similar side effects with my Dr, my Abraxane was held today, I have to go back to re-check BP tomorrow. The fun never ends!

I am on Abraxane with Taxol and Herceptin and my B/P is also rising...running 150 /84...but my usual runs 110/66....I monitor it daily, but it seems that many on Avastin need to go on a low dose B/P Med to keep the pressure down so as to remain on the Avastin. Chrisy who is on Tykerb/Avastin just went on B/P meds ...hopefully she will respond.
